“Lucille was very good with Dash while we traveled. He looked forward to her visits an shorts walks & belly rubs. I was do glad she could step in on short notices, because our other sitter had to cancel at last minute.”
“Amazing! Would trust her with my pup anytime. Asked questions about what I wanted, walked my pup and tired her out, and even worked on some training and tricks with her. Definitely would recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Rori, and I love animals of all kinds, especially cats and dogs. I have had so many pets of my own and lots of hands-on experience caring for animals with different needs and energy levels. I know how important it is to treat every animal with patience and care. Whether it’s walks, feeding, play, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m available after school on weekdays, most evenings, and on weekends. I may also be available for early morning visits before school when needed. Feel free to message me. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! During drop-in visits and walks, I focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, litter box or potty breaks, medication (if needed), and routines. I always secure doors, gates, and leashes, and make sure pets are safely settled before I leave.
About: I’ve helped care for a wide range of animals some being as young as a week old to being over 14 years old. I have loved caring for hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and the average house cat and dog. I have some free time with college classes being over for the summer and my student worker position that doesn’t require much of my time. So I would love to fill that time doing something I would love. At home I have a friendly and energetic blue heeler that loves to play ball and a senior orange tabby cat that is sweet but on his own time. I love caring and playing with them and any of my family and friends animals.
About: What sets me apart is my attentiveness and calm, patient approach with animals of all ages. I’m experienced with puppies who need structure, consistency, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who require extra care, gentleness, and routine support. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring behavior changes, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize both their physical comfort and emotional well-being. Due to my abundance of free time at this stage of my life, I have all the time and resources to devote to my passions which include animals. I meticulously follow directions left by pet parents in order to account for not only the pet in my care’s health and well-being, but also their feelings and happiness. I show them the amount of care I would expect my beloved two cats would receive, but we all care for our pets in different ways. Sometimes they have out of the ordinary requests that I am delighted to oblige.
About: I’ve had a dog all growing up and want to take care of yours as if they’re my own. No matter the size, I want to be the best sitter I can be for them and for you! I’m available mornings, lunch and evenings to make sure your dog is well taken care of while you’re gone. I have lots of free time to make sure they are loved and taken care of! I’m used to making sure that your dog enjoys their walk, bathroom break or anything else while making sure they are safe from running away, other people or other dogs! You can sleep peacefully knowing they’re in good hands!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 10 years now! I’ve taken care of both Dogs and cats of all sizes! I’ve been dog sitting for years and I have been working at Sydney’s pet resort as a supervisor for 4 years now! I have experience giving all animals medication and will help animals with any medical issues they may have! I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, as well as kittens and senior cats! I currently work Tuesday through Saturdays but I will work around my schedule to make sure I find time to care for your pets! I am typically free all day on Sundays and Mondays! I am currently not watching any animals in my own home but I am able to watch them in the comfort of their own home!
About: Hi, I’m just a Friends University student that would love nothing more than to call this my job. I’ve always loved animals and have pet -sitted for neighbors etc. over the years. I also have first hand experience working as a camp counselor for kids - after that, pets seem like the easiest job in the world. I have gaps thru the entire day and will soon be done with the semester, so am basically free to pet sit whenever and wherever as needed by you. It’s entirely up to you. I am able to care for your pet in whatever manor may be necessary. If it means giving them meds, belly rubs, or taking them on a walk, I am happy to! I currently do not have my own dog, mine passed away :/ - but I do regularly still help out with my roommates dog. Me and her are best buds, and I’ll be sure your pet feels the same way.

Alayna was very attentive to my 3 shy cats, they quickly bonded with her while I was gone for over a week. Alayna shared detailed updates and photos, and took care of all their needs and would reach out for any questions. I will definitely book her again on future trips!
